Can anyone recommend a good pressure pot, preferably something I can get off Amazon that won't wreck my bank account. Already previously spent money on a vacuum chamber only to learn that was a mistake lol
So I'm having some difficulties creating my first dice. I have a vacuum chamber to de-gas but I'm seeing a lot about pressure pots now. Does it make that big of a difference? Just trying to get my dice to come out without little bubbles.
So I am a novice at this. I am attempting to cast a dice in resin. I've got my mold all set up. I mixed my 2 part resin, mixed in my mica dye, put it in a vacuum chamber for about 15 mins and poured slowly. Waited for about 24 hours to remove from the mold and still had a bunch of tiny bubbles.
2nd attempt. Left it in the vacuum chamber even longer before pouring. Then I put it back in the chamber while in the mold. When I removed it from the mold it had a large air pocket AND tiny bubbles.
I think I may have stirred alternating direction which I believe can cause more bubbles and I'm thinking to try and put the mixed contents in warm water, not mixed with water of course, prior to pouring. Any other pro tips?
